Origin and meaning

fifth month / pearl / bitter (English) + grace or favor (Hebrew)

'May Ann' is an English double-barrel given name widely adopted in the Philippines during the mid-to-late 20th century. It represents the common Filipino naming convention of pairing short, classic Anglo-Saxon or Christian names into a two-word formal first name.

A compound English name combining 'May' (derived from the fifth month named after the Roman goddess Maia, or used as a pet form of Mary/Margaret) and 'Ann' (the English form of Anne/Hannah, meaning 'grace' in Hebrew).
